talk show host named larry king. one day out of the blue ted calls me, and he says, listen, we d like you to come to cnn. i had never seen cnn. that wasn t the only obstacle. larry already had a job and ted wanted him to start at cnn just four days later. i knew ten minutes into that show talking to larry cuomo that show was going to make it. ted saw that. ted saw that. cnn was growing and so was the rest of ted s empire. he bought mgm s entire library of films, including his favorite movie gone with the wind. frankly, my dear, i don t give a damn. it launched tnt, a network that would air them. after that, kocartoon network, turner classic movies in asia, europe and the middle east.
